selftests: openvswitch: add a simple test for tunnel metadata

2025-09-14T21:28:13+00:00

This test ensures that upon receiving decapsulated packets from a tunnel interface in openvswitch, the tunnel metadata fields are properly populated. This partially covers interoperability of the kernel tunnel ports and openvswitch tunnels (LWT) and parsing and formatting of the tunnel metadata fields of the openvswitch netlink uAPI. Doing so, this test also ensures that fields and flags are properly extracted during decapsulation by the tunnel core code, serving as a regression test for the previously fixed issue with the DF bit not being extracted from the outer IP header. The ovs-dpctl.py script already supports all that is necessary for the tunnel ports for this test, so we only need to adjust the ovs_add_if() function to pass the '-t' port type argument in order to be able to create tunnel ports in the openvswitch datapath.

selftests: openvswitch: don't hardcode the drop reason subsys

2025-03-07T00:45:43+00:00

WiFi removed one of their subsys entries from drop reasons, in commit 286e69677065 ("wifi: mac80211: Drop cooked monitor support") SKB_DROP_REASON_SUBSYS_OPENVSWITCH is now 2 not 3. The drop reasons are not uAPI, read the correct value from debug info. We need to enable vmlinux BTF, otherwise pahole needs a few GB of memory to decode the enum name.

selftests: openvswitch: fix tcpdump execution

2024-12-19T03:18:41+00:00

Fix the way tcpdump is executed by: - Using the right variable for the namespace. Currently the use of the empty "ns" makes the command fail. - Waiting until it starts to capture to ensure the interesting traffic is caught on slow systems. - Using line-buffered output to ensure logs are available when the test is paused with "-p". Otherwise the last chunk of data might only be written when tcpdump is killed.

selftests: openvswitch: retry instead of sleep

2024-07-12T01:11:31+00:00

There are a couple of places where the test script "sleep"s to wait for some external condition to be met. This is error prone, specially in slow systems (identified in CI by "KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW=yes"). To fix this, add a "ovs_wait" function that tries to execute a command a few times until it succeeds. The timeout used is set to 5s for "normal" systems and doubled if a slow CI machine is detected. This should make the following work: $ vng --build \ --config tools/testing/selftests/net/config \ --config kernel/configs/debug.config $ vng --run . --user root -- "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ \ KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW=yes TARGETS=net/openvswitch run_tests" Signed-off-by: Adrian Moreno Reviewed-by: Ilya Maximets Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240710090500.1655212-1-amorenoz@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

Add a test to verify sampling packets via psample works. In order to do that, create a subcommand in ovs-dpctl.py to listen to on the psample multicast group and print samples.

selftests: openvswitch: Be more verbose with selftest debugging.

2024-07-04T02:29:15+00:00

The openvswitch selftest is difficult to debug for anyone that isn't directly familiar with the openvswitch module and the specifics of the test cases. Many times when something fails, the debug log will be sparsely populated and it takes some time to understand where a failure occured. Increase the amount of details logged to the debug log by trapping all 'info' logs, and all 'ovs_sbx' commands.

selftests: openvswitch: Attempt to autoload module.

2024-07-04T02:29:15+00:00

Previously, the openvswitch.sh test suites would not attempt to autoload the openvswitch module. The idea was that a user who is manually running tests might not even have the OVS module loaded or configured for their own development. However, if the kernel module is configured, and the module can be autoloaded then we should just attempt to load it and run the tests. This is especially true in the CI environments, where the CI tests should be able to rely on auto loading to get the test suite running.

selftests: openvswitch: Use bash as interpreter

2024-06-18T20:27:16+00:00

openvswitch.sh makes use of substitutions of the form ${ns:0:1}, to obtain the first character of $ns. Empirically, this is works with bash but not dash. When run with dash these evaluate to an empty string and printing an error to stdout. # dash -c 'ns=client; echo "${ns:0:1}"' 2>error # cat error dash: 1: Bad substitution # bash -c 'ns=client; echo "${ns:0:1}"' 2>error c # cat error This leads to tests that neither pass nor fail. F.e. TEST: arp_ping [START] adding sandbox 'test_arp_ping' Adding DP/Bridge IF: sbx:test_arp_ping dp:arpping {, , } create namespaces ./openvswitch.sh: 282: eval: Bad substitution TEST: ct_connect_v4 [START] adding sandbox 'test_ct_connect_v4' Adding DP/Bridge IF: sbx:test_ct_connect_v4 dp:ct4 {, , } ./openvswitch.sh: 322: eval: Bad substitution create namespaces Resolve this by making openvswitch.sh a bash script.

selftests: openvswitch: Add validation for the recursion test

2024-02-09T20:54:38+00:00

Add a test case into the netlink checks that will show the number of nested action recursions won't exceed 16. Going to 17 on a small clone call isn't enough to exhaust the stack on (most) systems, so it should be safe to run even on systems that don't have the fix applied.
